Here's what tradition teaches:

 

(1) Karanas: From Bava to Vishti, they are ruled by Sun to Saturn, in

weekday lord order. The last four are ruled by Brahma, Hari, Hara and

Aditya, who are represented by the lords of the four quadrants in

order.

 

(2) Tithis: Pratipat to Ashtami are ruled by Sun to Rahu in weekday

lord order (with Rahu added at the end). Navami to Chaturdasi are

ruled by Sun to Venus in weekday lord order. Pournima is ruled by

Saturn and Amavasya by Rahu.

 

(3) Yogas from Vishkumbha to Vaidhriti are ruled by planets from

Saturn to Jupiter in the order of Vimsottari dasa lords.

 

How to know the tithi, karana, yoga, vara and nakshatra on a given

day? All panchangas give it. My free software "Jagannatha Hora Lite"

gives them too. I am not actually sure of the current release

version, but the new version to be released soon gives them all.

I am not an expert in prasna. Do read Prasna Marga, Prasna Padavi,

Krishneeyam etc classics for sophisticated timing techniques.

 

May Jupiter's light shine on us,
